Detailed Answer:
Hello Suchin,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic...
I've reviewed the attached reports, there are a few areas that needed to be taken care of...
Your BMI is alright as per your age group. However, the cholesterol and LDL (the bad cholesterol) levels are just borderline elevated, along with some secondary changes in the hematological profiles and insufficient Vitamin D3 levels.
Stop smoking/using any form of tobacco completely (it seems like you do), better to avoid alcohol also (if at all consume)...drink plenty of water throughout the day(at least 2.5ltr per day)...
Apart from that, you should also initiate some dietary modification on daily basis. Try to avoid junk/fast foods completely, no excessive deep-fried foods strictly...also make sure to drink enough water throughout the day (at least 2.5ltr per day)...
-Avoid processed and packaged foods, always try to eat fresh, organic foods, have fresh fruits instead of any packaged fruit juices...Include a lot of fresh green leafy vegetables in the daily diet.. have a bowl of salad every day...try to include foods which help to decrease Cholesterol and increase the HDL level (the good one) in the body, like olive oil, beans, and legumes, whole grains, plenty of nuts etc...
Also, start working out and increase physical activities (for the beginning 30-45 minute of daily jogging in the morning or evening followed by free-hand exercises etc.)...
Make sure to get daily sun-exposure on bare body parts for around 15-20min in the morning, preferably in between 8-10am (it'll help in natural synthesis of Vit-D levels)...include foods like fortified milk, almonds, pistachios, hard-boiled eggs, spinach, orange juice, plenty of legumes to maintain proper Vit-D3 levels in the body...
Follow all these strictly and recheck the CBC and Lipid profile, 12 lead ECG, serum calcium, Uric acid, Iron profile after 3months and also get a clinical check-up done by any Internal medicine specialist...This should be enough for the time being for the present as well as future well-being (along with once yearly comprehensive health check-up plans)...
Let me know if there're any further doubts/queries...
Take Care
Kind Regards
